After only a couple of episodes, Ezquerra handed over 'Dredd' to Mike McMahon, who further shaped the character. Besides 'Judge Dredd', Ezquerra graphically designed 'Strontium Dog' and 'Al's Baby' for 2000 AD and Judge Dredd Megazine. In the 1990s he returned on the 'Judge Dredd' comic and took on 'Bloody Mary' at DC publishers. Carlos Ezquerra is also famous for his work on 'Star Wars' comics and the Dark Horse comic 'Mara Jade'.
